Concrete Breaking

Breaking concrete is never an easy project. While it is possible to rent a jackhammer from home improvement stores or rental yards, this can get expensive if the project drags on. Not only that, wielding the jackhammer itself can be a tough, physically demanding task. Instead, many homeowners choose to break their concrete in a more leisurely and less expensive fashion, using a sledgehammer.

• Stack the concrete pieces up and create a short garden wall.
• Use the pieces as edging for a pond to hold down the pond liner.
• Use the concrete as fill material when you want to build up an area of your yard.
• Use the small rubble as French drain material.
